FAQs

What does the realtor do?

Searches for property listings that fit your needs, accompany clients to property site, discuss conditions of sale and home, and draw up real estate contracts. They are your advocates.

What happens at a closing?

The buyer, seller etc. along with their respective agents and closing attorney meet to finalize the property transaction. Documents are reviewed and signed, including but not limited to the Deed and closing statement, closing costs are settled, and the ownership of the property is officially transferred from the seller to the buyer, keys to property are officially handed over to the new buyer.

What documents do I need to manage my estate?

It's usually advised to have a will, a healthcare power of attorney, and a financial power of attorney. While these documents offer good coverage in many cases, every situation is different. To ensure your estate is properly protected and tailored to your specific needs and assets, it's best to talk to an estate planning lawyer.

What is skilled care v. unskilled care in a nursing home?

Skilled care in a nursing home involves rehabilitation and is generally when a person is receiving physical or occupational therapy. This is a period of time when a person is continuing to recover after an illness, injury, or surgery. Medicare will cover at least a portion of the cost of skilled care. Unskilled care comes into play once the period of skilled care is over, and a person cannot or chooses not to return home or to the community. Rehabilitation and therapy services are no longer provided, and the person is assumed to be a long-term care patient at that time. Medicare does not cover the cost of unskilled care, and individuals often look to Medicaid to assist with covering the cost of unskilled care.

What is a Guardianship?

A Guardianship is a court-ordered relationship between a competent adult (the Guardian) and an adult with impaired decision-making capacity (the Ward). In Rhode Island, city and town Probate Courts oversee the Guardianship process and issue such orders. Once a court appoints a Guardian, the Guardian steps into the shoes of the Ward as the primary decision maker. The Guardian of the person may make medical decisions, oversee the residential placement of their Ward (with court approval), ensure that the Ward receives proper professional services, and release medical records and information.

Don't Let Your Life Insurance Benefits Get Taxed! Let's Talk About an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust ... Many Massachusetts residents leverage life insurance to safeguard their loved ones financially. However, a hidden tax pitfall can significantly decrease the intended benefit. Here's how Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILI Ts) can be used as powerful tools for estate planning ... - Maximizing Inherited Value: Life insurance proceeds, while crucial for beneficiaries, can be subject to estate taxes. An ILIT removes the policy from your taxable estate, potentially saving your beneficiaries a substantial amount. - Flexible Distribution Options: ILI Ts empower you to dictate how the life insurance proceeds are distributed. Choose a lump sum payout, establish a structured distribution plan, or even link the trust to another trust for complex distribution goals. - Enhanced Asset Protection: ILI Ts may offer a layer of protection for the life insurance proceeds from creditors of your beneficiaries. Understanding ILI Ts and their applicability in your specific situation requires in-depth analysis. Consulting with an estate planning attorney is essential. We can navigate the complexities of ILI Ts and determine if they are the optimal strategy for maximizing the value your life insurance delivers to your beneficiaries. Want to secure your legacy instead of passing it along to Uncle Sam? Contact my office today to schedule a complimentary consultation today.
